It's 3:00 p.m. in Los Angeles and, chances are, you are sitting at your cubicle pretending to work while you go through your emails and try to figure out what the hell you are doing tonight. Fear not, dear reader, your faithful editor-with-too-much-time has compiled a list of happenings occurring this evening. All event listings are taken from emails, bulletins, et cetera. If I missed something, feel free to post it in the comments section. If you want to email me a listing, send it to comradeliz@thepeoplesdanceparty.com. I'm going to try to do this daily.

M/R/X @ The Parlour
Adult. DJs, Walking in the Neon plays live. See previous post.

La Polla Loca
Our friends Rudy and Jeppe put on this weekly party at Little Pedro's in Downtown L.A. It's a good time and the space is nifty. Tonight is a release party for Fannypack's new album See You Next Tuesday. 8 Bit is playing live. Oh, and it's free! It's also 21+.
901 E. 1st Street Downtown Los Angeles (if you cross the bridge, you went to far)

The Seeds
This show is being filmed for a documentary on Sky Saxon and, according to the email, it's at a place called Bamboo Palace in Costa Mesa. There was no address listed and, since I've been to a whopping two shows in Orange County in my entire life, I'm completely useless in this area.

The Drag @ 2nd Street Jazz
I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I've ever seen Hello Fever. I kind of think that I did at one of those shows with 20 bands on the bill. Anyhow, I keep hearing good things about them, so this might be a good show. It's also 18+, for those of you lacking fake IDs.
366 E. 2nd Street
Little Tokyo
10:00p.m. -2:00 a.m.

Lava Lounge
I saw Paper Pills play in a backyard in Lennox, which was a really strange show because the band is on the Mogwai tip and they were opening for black metal maniacs Crom. If you're into something a bit more atmospheric tonight, go here. Ninja Academy are also on the bill. Paper Pills go on at 10:00 p.m. and Ninja Academy follows.
1533 N. La Brea Ave
Hollywood
21+, $5

Knitting Factory
Attention Adult Swim fans: MC Chris from Aqua Teen Hunger Force is playing tonight with DJ John. Also on the bill are Books On Tape (who rocked our Chucks off when he played Discourse in April) and Captain Ahab, who seems to get played on KXLU every time I'm in the car (not a bad thing at all). It starts at 9:00 p.m. and they're playing in the front room.
7021 Hollywood Blvd, Suite 29
$10 (no age limit known)
